This is FABULOUS - Now My GTab is a Useful Tool, Not Just a Plaything

Thanks, dsb9938, for your time and energy put into this Stock+Root Vanilla for Verizon CDMA GTabs! I'm not into playing with different ROMs, and am limited by where I live to Verizon as my carrier, so I was thrilled to find this thread - Root without the learning curve of a different ROM.

Thanks also, to leapinlar for his input - after the holidays, maybe I'll play with overclocking. And, I sent thanks to Glass Echidna for Heimdall and their helpful instructions; this was my first Root (although I'd purchased a rooted cheapie prior to the GTab), but I felt very confident.

I did the Root last night, using Hiemdall 1.1.1 Suite, and it went without a hitch. I was so excited that I stayed up all night, getting Titanium Back-Up Pro wrapped around all my precious apps and data, re-installing, etc.

It's great to know that I can go back to "stock stock" if needed but, in the meantime, get rid of piles of bloatware. I'm an old "mainframe dinosaur" - it's good to get system-level control of my technology, once again. My main thrill, so far, is that I've been able to freeze the stock calendar & contacts in favour of useful ones - eliminating redundancy. Oh - and being able to back up data with apks is a huge relief....

The point of my Thanks to you? I did not WANT "bells & whistles" - just a streamlined machine - and that's exactly what you have given me. I sure hope that you will be creating vanilla stock+roots for many future versions. In just 24 hours, you've had a most positive effect on the efficiency of both my personal and business lives, and I wanted to let you know.

"There is No Free Lunch": I sent a donation (not nearly enough to cover the benefits I received, :o) to acknowledge your excellent work. I hope that everyone who benefits from your work does the same.... ;)

Can it be used on Sprint Galaxy Tab?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] leapinlar:
The link in the first post still works. But if you are having trouble with it, here is another link that should work.

VZW 2.3.5 Stock Root
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] bsdmj:
Hmm tried megaupload today and it worked. Anyone else on TWC can't get through?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] tom95ster:
The Megaupload link is broken.

The link In the #18 post is correct, works fine! Thanks!

Anyone know a better rom for vzw tab than this?

Edited:

Finaly, I flashed this Rom to my sch-I800. Works fine, everything is ok for me. Intresting thing, the quadrant scoore is lower with this Rom than the stock vzw Rom, but the Tab speed is faster and faster :-)

Thanks this Rom for the Rom Chef!!! ;-)

Does such a thing exist that is not someone's private server?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Tom2112:
Sorry for the noob question, but how do I get gapps loaded now? I'm missing all of the google apps, even the marketplace/play.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] leapinlar:
Gapps (market) should be part of the stock. I have seen on other devices that play store does not show unless you somehow enter your credentials.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Tom2112:
Hmmm... no luck for me. I did the flash, rebooted into recovery, wiped data and cache, rebooted, went through the configuration wizard (as if the tab was new) and signed in with my google account.

But no google apps. None of them. Is there some way to kick off the install of them again?

I tried downloading gapps for gingerbread from http://goo.im/gapps/ but when I tried to run the update in recovery, it said the file was not signed properly. I tried both of these files:

http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-gb-20110729-signed.zip

http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip

Are those the correct files even?

Um... nevermind. I got it sorted out. It must have had something to do with Launcher Pro. None of the google apps were showing in my app drawer or on the desktop. But I managed to get the market to start, downloaded Launcher Pro and once it was installed, my app drawer showed all the google apps and the desktop was restored. I reinstalled most of the google apps from the market, just to be sure, since I had messed around with the gapps files and the apks.

All I get when I try to go into recovery after flashing is Samsung boot logo and it wont go any further lol
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] leapinlar:
How are you trying to get there? Try booting there with a third party app like ROM manager.

Btw, I updated to CWM recovery by using dsb9938's cubed3 recovery. I just extracted his zip and flashed the recovery only with heimdall. see my post here:

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] CamoGeko:
Thanks mate, it didin't work for me... I was trying to get into recovery via the 3 button combo because the Tab wont boot.

So I downloaded stock Verizon firmware and flashed that, now I'm stuck on Verizon screen and with a stock recovery which shows errors...

Error:

E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1

(no such file or directory)

E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/command

Would flashing that custom recovery that you suggest fix this? Or is there an issue with the internal SD?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] leapinlar:
If you can't get into the ROM, flashing this one will do no good. It must be entered from inside the ROM. Three button combo won't get into it.

How did you flash this ROM? Heimdall 1.1.1 and download mode?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] CamoGeko:
Yes mate, just as usual... only there is 4 files... system.rfs/cache.rfs/zimage.rfs and param.rfs.

I'm guessing it gave me stock everything and at least now I get to the Verizon boot instead of being stuck on Samsung boot. However, either way you look at it I'm still stuck and recovery seems to be useless apart from if I want to wipe cache lol

EDIT: this is the thread I followed... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=967175
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] leapinlar:
That's the right thread to follow. Is it booting to the ROM at all or just stuck on the verizon logo? Sometimes the first boot takes a while.

Sent from my Nook Color running ICS and Tapatalk
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] CamoGeko:
Yeah dude, I've followed that thread to the last word and all it gets me is the Verizon boot logo without going any further and a broken stock recovery with the errors I posted earlier.

Also I just tried the ROM that you posted on the first page again, and same story... except now I'm stuck at Samsung boot logo and without any recovery.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] leapinlar:
I posted a ROM on the first page? The only one I posted was on January 22 and it was identical to the OP file, which was temporarily down. You should be using the one dsb9938 posted at the beginning of this thread. And with his version zimage goes in kernel and recovery.bin goes in recovery.

Sent from my Nook Color running ICS and Tapatalk
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] CamoGeko:
Yeah, sorry... that's the file I'm using. Recovery is a .bin file and the kernel is zimage.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] CamoGeko:
Yeah, thats correct mate. Kinda lost here really, pretty sure I've tried everything lol
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] leapinlar:
Sounds like your partitions are messed up. Those errors that recovery is throwing are not good. I know the newer versions of heimdall will let you play with partitions with the pit file. But it is dangerous if you don't know what you are doing. And I don't. Search the threads to see if there is any help.

Sent from my Nook Color running ICS and Tapatalk
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] CamoGeko:
Thanks for trying to help mate, I've already looked all over the net and tried many things.

One thread even said to try flashing a Sprint CDMA ROM and see if that fixes the Verizon boot thing.

Another thread was saying that there is no way if fixing this and the tab should be sent back because there was a faulty batch and there are many people with the issue like this.

So, honestly... don't know how much more I can do.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] leapinlar:
You can mail it off and have it fixed. There are people that do that by opening it up and using a jtag to reset it and load stock back on it. Search for that.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] GeNYC07:
thanks for leading me to this thread leapinliar. Ive been stumped for awhile. can customs roms be loaded with heimdall or do i flash it after rooting? where do i put zimage?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] leapinlar:
Zimage goes in both recovery and kernel boxes.

Some older custom ROMs (like cubed3) can be flashed with heimdall, but most newer ones require you to use a new CWM that changes all your partitions, etc. I don't mess with them because it is complex and easy to brick your device.

debugging off or on?

---------- Post added at 10:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:00 PM ----------

i should load the zimage for recovery there is a recovery in the package.

---------- Post added at 10:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 PM ----------

i guess debugging doesnt matter now that i think about it since it gets started with pwr volume down buttons
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] leapinlar:
I'm not really sure anymore. I don't use the zImage from it on mine. I use the zImage from the cubed3 ROM where it is overclocked and CWM 4.1.5 is the recovery. But I think the original instructions said to put in both.

Edit: I just reread the instructions and it says recovery.bin goes in the recovery box.

hooray!!!! Success thanks lar now i want to get CM 9.1 on there but ill leave that to another thread thanks again for getting me in there.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] leapinlar:
CM9 is another kettle of fish. It can really mess up your device if you do something wrong. It totally changes the format of your partitions and is almost impossible to go back if you don't like it. Be sure to read everything before you start and understand it.

If you want to try something snappier and safe, try the cubed3 rom.

sure if it does what i need then great!!! just trying to end the lag and freezing while the wife is running apks. ill give it a shot.flash it like i would on the phone saving to sd and then loading through recovery or use the heimdall?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] leapinlar:
Do it exactly like you did this rom.

Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10.1 on emmc.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] GeNYC07:
i read it should be flashed through heimdall
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] leapinlar:
Just so you understand, rooting the stock did not make it so you can flash ROMs with CWM like you can do with other devices. All it did is give you root access to areas that you were prohibited from accessing before. You keep asking if you can copy to SD and flash. You cannot without a lot of further mods. That's what I was trying to warn you about.

But that cubed3 is an older, jazzed up ROM that uses the same partitions, etc, as stock does and is easy to flash with heimdall and revert back to plain stock if you want.

Not so easy with newer ROMs like CM9 or CM10.

Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10.1 on emmc.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] GeNYC07:
yep i get it... I flashed the cubed3 and will test for awhile. if it works as i hope i doubt ill switch I like cm simply because i know it and use it on other devices but i am a utilitarian and if something isnt broken there is no reason why i will try to change it. you are right heimdall is very user friendly and seems difficult to mess up. thanks for all the tips.

last two questions for tonight how do i do a wipe on this?

and do i have the correct gapps installed?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] leapinlar:
If you flashed all the parts of cubed3, you got CWM 4.1.5 with it. That means you can boot to CWM and wipe. And you can do backups and restores. But it is kind of a strange CWM, you have to boot to it from within the ROM. If you try to use the key combo it boots to stock recovery.

It also means you can overclock.

And the gapps are part of the ROM, you do not flash them separately. They are gingerbread gapps just like the ROM is gingerbread.

This cubed3 ROM is the plain vanilla gingerbread that the ROM developer modified heavily to make it faster by removing bloatware and adding a few things. Read his first post and you will see what he has done.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] PookiePrancer:
I've been toying with the idea of going back to the vanilla/rooted rom from Cubed3 (tired of the phone process always crashing). Anything special I need to do beforehand?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] leapinlar:
No, just use heimdall to flash back. If you want to keep the OC kernel and CWM, just leave those boxes empty.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] PookiePrancer:
Really? It'll keep Cubed3's app-launched CWM?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] leapinlar:
Yes.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] leapinlar:
It is probably because you are trying to flash it with a sprint CWM and it has a VZW assert statement in the zip. It fails the check to make sure you are flashing to a VZW Tab.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] leapinlar:
Why are you asking for my stock root if you want ics?

I just downloaded the zip and it does have an assert statement in it. What CWM are you using? That 5.0.2.7 that is referenced in that thread?

And what is the exact error message you get? Sometimes error 7 means a bad download.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] leapinlar:
That is the exact error I thought you might be getting. Your CWM that you are using is not supplying the right getprop value. You might be able to go to the CWM and toggle the assert check off. Some CWMs allow that and some do not. If yours does not have that, then you can go in and manually remove the first line of the updater-script file in the zip. Use an archive program and a text file editor.

thanks for all the help man. really appreciate it
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] leapinlar:
Depending on how you did the edit, you may have messed up the verification. You usually can see those options after you select 'install zip from SD', on the same menu as 'choose zip from SD', etc. If you cannot toggle the asserts, maybe it will allow you to toggle verification.

The edit should be to just extract that one file from the zip, leaving the rest of the zip intact. Then edit the file and put it back inside the zip, replacing the one there.
